Worst Of The Year (2012)

Every year there are great films, but also terrible films and the year 2012 is not any different, as with my movie of the year post i will list all film that got a 7.0 or below.

John Carter

Wrath Of The Titans

Lockout

Dark Shadows

Battleship

Abraham Lincoln:Vampire Hunter

Total Recall

Resident Evil:Retribution

House At The End Of The Street

Silent Hill:Revelation

ratings of the films

John Carter-7.0
Wrath Of The Titans-6.9
Lockout-6.2
Dark Shadows-6.4
Battleship-5.5
Abraham Lincoln:Vampire Hunter-6.5
Total Recall-7.0
Resident Evil:Retribution-6.9
House At The End Of The Street-5.0
Silent Hill:Revelation-6.7

All of these films where pretty bad in my opinion and I would suggest to skip them all but one of these was the worst of the worst and that was...........

This film was horrible, and I actually thought it was funny reading reviews for this film and people were trying to shield Jennifer Lawrence from this film saying the script was just plain bad, that maybe partly true but her acting did not make this film any better (I am not a fan of her her performance in Hunger games was nothing special in my opinion it was pretty average). this was the worst film of the year which if you would have asked me after watching battleship I would have said that was easily the worst of the year but this film was actually worse.
